Autism Related to Excessive Brain Cells

Autism is a brain problem that makes it hard for kids to communicate.
Recent studies and research have found that Autism is linked with having excessive brain cells. Autism is related to have extra neurons in the specific part of brain which is responsible for communication and social skills. Research findings suggest that it may begin when the baby is still in the womb of mother.

In his study , published in Journal of American Medical Association, Eric Courchesne, Ph.D says,
 "An excess of brain cells was found in each child with autism that we studied.While we think that ultimately not every child with an autism disorder will show this, our study does suggest that an abnormal excess of cells may be quite common among children with autism. This is an exciting finding because, if future research can pinpoint why an excessive number of brain cells are there in the first place, it will have a large impact on understanding autism, and perhaps developing new treatments."

What makes these cells grow excessively is yet to find out.
